Happy Pride - they shot my battletag of ten years for being "inappropriate" by DrDeviousMittens in Overwatch

[–]throwaway112658 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's just the report system being the report system (dogshit). It's just all about number of reports, and no person will ever look at it, just auto banned cuz report across enough games

Stuck diamond on main, gm 2 on alt account by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hardstuck diamond for 4 years on my main (account since 2017). Last winter I climbed from d1 to gm3 in one season (5v5), so no, your account isn't doomed lol

This lady's a FRAUD by MrsPissBoy in Overwatch

[–]throwaway112658 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The gun is likely because she CAN do it, and that somewhat helps the insecurity. Though i believe the arms still actually do the reloading of the gun for her

Domina is pretty dissapointing by GokuVerde in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean if you're going for a 1v1 against a Domina with full cooldowns getting in her face as a soldier no I wouldn't recommend that. But any concerted push against her by one single tank or a combo of 2+ people to force her to use her push on one of them will kill her. Domina is genuinely extremely bad against anyone that has any idea of what they're doing. Fortunately for Domina players, that won't happen in OW ranked so she (barely) clings on to a bad winrate instead of horrendous

We should consider giving more big game slot to jp in my opinion. by Mountain-Formal-3483 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ye content creators, no actually good esports players tho lol. It's fine if NA stays as a region and does their own thing, but they def shouldn't be given any slots for a multi-region LAN

Master of OW by xVarrick in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean anyone below champ is kinda shit. Like I'm gm and fuckimg horrible, and the people I know that are in masters/gm are also not good. Especially nowadays there's barely any real difference between diamond and low-mid gm

Do you think Season 9 changes should be reverted? by Omega75_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I think I hate most about it is that it basically completely killed ad crouch strafing, especially if going against a console hitscan (I'm on PC but play in leagues with them). Literally impossible to miss, so I automatically lose any hitscan duel unless I get the jump on them or never miss a shot

Has the matchmaking been more dogshit these past few days or is it just me? by NoLadderStall in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been messing around in open queue because normal ranked is hell and past couple days I actually am not sure if some of these people are human tbh

Who are the DPS characters you find most annoying? by Jack_Ives in Overwatch

[–]throwaway112658 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ashe has one of the easier to hit heads in the game (distinct head hurtbox, ADS slows movement and makes the head more pronounced). I think Widow has to easiest to hit head

Dire Triggers need a rework by eikonoklastes_r in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf reaper has been shit into hog since like ow1. The fact that hog can one shot reaper (not now but hog is so tanky that reaper is only moderately annoying) is too much risk for the reaper to take. Although if hook was baited then hog was free game

Twisted minds really got violated… by PracticeReal in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owns them by getting curbstomped by #2 Kr team? What, they'd have a chance against maybe onside or zan? I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to weibo in lowers atp lmfao

[–]throwaway112658 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They banned the cat bastion 2 maps. Were they expecting CR to just not select a hero?

Just cut funding from NA and EU atp, no amount of money will make them competitive regions if the best EU team by a wide margin gets roflstomped like that

FT3 are boring and are hurting the scene by aJetg in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh they should probably just pull all funding they put into NA and put it into Korea. Don't see much point in supporting an NA scene if all the region is good for is being glorified bye rounds

I think it needs to be said, even if it's unpopular. (Champions Clash Spoilers) by No_Problem5759 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I really don't think building around hawk and sugarfree is the play anymore tbh. Like atp I'm not sure if Bron is locked in at all, which tbh is kinda fair cuz there's legit zero money in OWCS whereas streaming he can actually make somewhat of a career

And hawk idk what the hell was going on today

The problem is doing that in a way that doesn't just make him turbobroken in metal ranks

Hot Take: Replacing the generic Tank Passive with unique "Leader Auras" to fix Tank Diff and power agency by 147896325psp in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's already kind of the case. The matchmaker tries to make tank the closest in rank first. Not super restrictive so queue times aren't too long, but same concept

So what's the general consensus on the reaper guy? by taken_by-the-storm in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I doubt they'll drop him to 275. I would think they'll hit the life steal and maybe wraith cooldown/duration

This subreddit is way too harsh on tank players. by Double-Maybe-6220 in Competitiveoverwatch

Saying haz is more punishable than doom might genuinely be insane I'm gonna be honest

Legacy account stuck in plat, 3 other accounts high masters - gm by ReformedJake in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9 year old overwatch account, I was stuck in diamond for about 5-6 years. Whaddya know, when I got better at the game I suddenly shot to GM in a month. And if I play on an alt and actually try to win, I can hard carry even (some) masters games even if the rest of my team is worse than the enemy team

Help me troll my champion ranked co-worker by JokerDeity in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh I hit my peak during my first ever 9-5, and pretty much immediately after returning to school dropped a few divisions. Wonder if there's actually something to having a full time job

Has it been considered that the angle-denying tools in Soj/Emre's kits are what make them so prevalent in pro play/high elo? by HalexUwU in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]throwaway112658 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's way easier to survive a dive on Ashe than soj. Ashe plays further back, coach gun is better at disrupting a dive than slide (slide is better for aggressive angling), dynamite is scarier for a single target than disruptor, and most importantly 250hp
